A Seattle Bungalow's Six-Bedroom Upgrade Exudes Schoolhouse Charm

The table is built out of vintage bleachers that were salvaged from a nearby school. Bright chairs by Tolix accent the room with an appropriate playfulness.

In many ways, the home is an homage to the properties that line the idyllic neighborhood. "I tried to take the old bungalows into consideration by using parts of the original house," Dupuis said. The owners used Ben Moore paints throughout their house, including "White Dove" in the breakfast nook. Custom-built bench seating surrounds an IKEA table.

Before the couple started the renovation, they learned that the original bungalow had a storied past — including being part of a locally-famous commune in the 1960s. "It was a well-known party house in the 1980s. There was a hot tub in the living room, which explains some of the staining we found on the wood," Dupuis said.

These light blue auditorium seats, salvaged from an old theater in Tacoma, Washington, add an inviting touch to the space beneath the stairs.

"My goal was to build a home that our kids would have great memories of growing up in," Dupuis said. "It is really geared toward our kids." An IKEA light fixture hangs above a West Elm rug in an upstairs bedroom.

A light fixture, bed frame and rug from IKEA create a colorful aesthetic that matches the rest of the home.
